The upper echelons of the Tibetan ruling lcass, whose appetite was wetted by Tibetan military successes in Xikang, came up to the idea of acheiving a "Greater Tibet" by capturing southern Qinghai. In March 1932, the Tibetan army launched an attack on southern Qinghai with the excuse of land dispute between monasteries in Yushu and also taking advantage of the weak defences then in place in Southern Qinghai. The Tibetan expeditionnary force captured Ranqian on April 3 and closed in on Yushu shortly after. Qinghai warlord Ma Bufang rushed reinforcements to the front, and the Qinghai army launched a counter-attack in July, routing the Tibetan army and driving it back to Xikang. The Qinghai army captured Shiqu, Dengke and other counties that had fallen into the hands of the Tibetan army since 1919. The victory on the part of the Qinghai army threatened the supply lines of the Tibetan forces in Garze and Xinlong. As a result, this part of the Tibetan army was forced to withdraw. »
